Comptia #CyberMonday deal spinner appears Rigged

1 points by antman1911 8 years ago | 3 comments

Waited for cyber monday in hopes to get a sweet deal on a certification voucher from comptia but was disapointed this morning. Had to contact them directly for the following link and after a little testing the best I saw was 10% off which isnt a very good promo when you can get that any time of the year from any of there training partners or approved study materials, or a google search of coupon code websites.

Id be interested to hear if anyone gets something different that 10% off when testing this promo spinner game they posted. Seems the game is rigged but I could be wrong.

I got 10% (of course). It's powered by https://www.wheelofpopups.com/ and one of the features is you can set the probability of each item.

Thanks for that info. I figured it was heavily weighted for the 10% off but it appears it was the only possibility. I tested 10 for 10 before giving up.
